New generation Wanderers ..

In movies like “Came Down to City from Town”, they always put a scene like the main character stands in this really crowded street and the camera turns around her, below, u know, like she got kinda dizzy because of all the noises and people and lights and all ..You know. And i would always laugh thinking they exaggerate the whole thing.

Now i know that they dont. It’s been like 2 months since i’m away from Istanbul and i was out with friends just on the very first day i arrived in Ist, the city gave me a headache. I also standed in a crowded street (which is in Uskudar) my head swimming. God, that was strange =s

But of course i’m glad i’m back. There is no place like home =)

It’s been 5 days already since i arrived. Days are passing way really fast and i was supposed to go to two different dental hospitals at least. Did i? No, i didn’t =s .. well, i’ll go to one i guess, today. Wait a sec, today is Arefe and the holidays start today. Well done K.t., really.

Well, whatever doesn’t sound right but .. well.

I’ll have exams after the holidays, starts on 8th of Dec with the Conservative Dentistry (tooth fillings and bleachings and all, u know). Guess i should start studing.

I also stopped translating Kare Kano. What am i doing anyway?

We have become way so lazy, haven’t we? Is that the way a Muslim is supposed to be? Lazy? Uncaring? Unconcerned? Without a worry in life?

Yeah, right. Simply don’t watch TV when it’s about wars that so many innocents die in terrible ways, being forced to leave their homelands .. Animals treated bad, Green being murdered, world cracking .. People turning into things that are way much lower than animals, being dishonest to even themselves ..

The more we stay away from the “natural” the more we’re becoming “unnatural” ..

Good for us. We’re all gonna die anyway, right? Yeah, right. And what are you gonna say when u’r asked what u did to save the world? What? What were u to do on only your own?? Good answer, hon. Stick to that.

Prosthesis Winds ..

New semestr started really fast.

Fast, i mean, really fast. First we were at school, second we were making a dental die of the right lateral tooth using different plasters, heavy body, light body …  A good start, huh?

Ok, that’s so unfair that the newcomers get the good classroom. I’m not being childish for God’s sake. I mean, why are we in this stupid classroom that is so large in a silly way that it might actually be used as a football field. Yeah, we’re playing soccer in it, you knew it right. I’m shouting to my teammate that’s on the other side of the room to pass the ball, but, well, it’s not like he can hear me really =s .. Fatih Terim did right by learning how to speak with sign language.

I need teeth. Freshly pulled-outs are especially prefered.

I’m not kidding. I had left a couple of jars to dentists while in Istanbul and i took them back right before i came to Kays. They helped me a lot but i still need lots of them.

If i become a 4th year one day inshaallah, i’ll start collecting every kind of unplugged teeth from dentists and hospitals and sell them to 1st, 2nd and 3rd years. They will desperately buy them. I can foresee that since i’d be doing the same. 1 lira per santral tooth. If he’s really desperate to buy (like he has endodontics class an hour later but has no teeth, that’s what i’d call desperate since we usually have this kind of hope that a tooth will come out of nowhere someway -silly, i know-) then it’s 4 liras.

Long live Evil-thinking! Keh Keh Keh Keh.

Remember the little dog in the Yogi Bear cartoon? I’ll never forget your laughs Muttley. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah.

And your cap and scarf of course. Well, yeah, i used to get really pissed off at you and your captain Dick Dastardly very much but i’ve always loved you deep in my heart.

Maybe that’s because i wanted to have a dog at that time but since once i brought this little turtle home and she didn’t eat at all and mum was sickly worried about her and made me leave her with a vet, we were simply against pets since then.

I wonder how she is doing now. She’s probably dead by now =( .. it’s been ages.

But, come on .. Play the Pollyanna for once and say, why not, she’s a grandma now and having her who-knows-th grandgrandgrandchild. Hope you’re happy with your new family, green one. And i’m sorry about how i seperated you from your husband. But you didn’t need to worry about him really. I heard he was doing fine. He ran away from my friend’s house or simply committed suicide jumping off the balcony. My animal-lover (!) friend never made it to his dead body, so, we may still hope that they got together, right?

Yeah, i thought so, too.

An Alien in America

I watched the first episode of the American drama called “aliens in america” ..

Hey, don’t get offensive just because it’s American. Who am i telling that?! I said with first glance the very same thing u said, Here we go with another Go Go Go American series .. This is what we call “prejudice”, right? In the end, it was fun.

Yeap, here is the story: “High schooler Justin Tolchuck (Dan Byrd) is a sensitive, lanky 16-year-old just trying to fit in at his high school in Medora, Wisconsin. He lives with his well-meaning mom Franny (Amy Pietz) who just wants him to be “cool” and fit in, entrepreneur dad Gary (Scott Patterson) who is very laid back, and his newly popular younger sister Claire (Lindsey Shaw), who tries to raise her popularity in school. When the school guidance counselor, Mr. Matthews (Christopher B. Duncan) convinces the family to take in an international student, they accept him with the expectation that he will be a good-looking European student that will make Justin popular. Although initially dismayed when Raja Musharraf (Adhir Kalyan), a 16-year-old Muslim boy from Pakistan turns up instead, they soon warm up to him and although their cultures are different, Justin and Raja form an unlikely friendship that might allow them to get past the social nightmare of high school.“

It’s one fun comedy I’ve seen lately. Yeah, it’s sometimes out of edge from a real Muslim life, but also makes you say “better than nothing, right?” .. And I don’t know if the general scenario changes as the episodes keep coming. So, i’m only talking about the beginning.

I’m thinking about Turkish dramas and .. eiikk, totally gross! I never watch any of them. Well, only the “Geniş Aile” maybe, because the leading character is way so fun =) ..

And there is such a thing that, our neighboor countries do always watch Turkish dramas and think that we’re actually like that. Well, come on! We’re not. We live in some normal, real world. Not one with full of regrets, alcohol, so easygoing relationships between men and women.
Hmmm … hmmm … dammit, ok, this doesn’t sound right to me either. Unfortunately there is a very big population in Turkey that leads a life mentioned above. What can I say? We’re one really secular, democratic, modern (!) country

I wish it made things good. I really do. But it doesn’t. Things are getting worse day by day. The high school kids nowaday I see when going to school .. they’re not in good shapes. They’re losing somethings somewhere. Deep inside. All along the road.

It’s not like we can’t change anything. Just like Gandhi said: Be the change you wish to see in the world.
